Overview:
The Pink Line Goby is a small, colorful sand-dwelling fish known for its subtle pink stripes running along a sandy or brownish body. Highly active, it sifts through sand to find food, helping to keep the substrate clean while displaying natural foraging behavior. Its peaceful nature and compact size make it an excellent choice for reef and community aquariums.

Origin:
Native to the Indo-Pacific, commonly found in shallow sandy areas near reefs, often forming loose associations with small groups.

Feeding:
Omnivorous – feeds on tiny invertebrates, detritus, and micro-crustaceans. In captivity, it accepts frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, and high-quality sinking pellets. Feeding multiple times per day is ideal to mimic natural behavior.

Tank Mates:
Peaceful and reef-safe, compatible with small, non-aggressive fish. Avoid large or aggressive species that may outcompete it for food.

Aggression:
Low. May show minor site fidelity in sandy areas but otherwise non-territorial.

Experience Level:
Intermediate. Requires a tank with at least a 2–3 inch sandy substrate for natural sand-sifting behavior and foraging.

Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 74–78°F (23–26°C)
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Salinity: 1.020–1.025
• Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons

The Pink Line Goby (Amblygobius decussatus) is a peaceful, active, and visually appealing sand-dweller, perfect for adding color, movement, and natural substrate interaction to reef aquariums.
